NRCD
E SCOOTER KIT
The NRCD E Scooter is electric engineering made real — a fully functioning, rideable scooter that students build from the ground up.
This isn't a toy kit or a demonstration model. It's a genuine electric vehicle built for performance, designed for real riders, and strong enough to last well beyond the classroom.
Students choose from three voltage configurations — 24V, 36V, or 48V — paired with a 350W brushless hub motor.
Each option teaches a different point on the power-performance curve, giving teachers the flexibility to match the build to the class level and curriculum focus.
Straightforward to build and genuinely rewarding to ride. The E Scooter is one of NRCD's most accessible projects — ideal for students who are new to engineering builds, or as a focused EV module within a broader technology programme.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Comprehensive parts kit — all components to complete the build
Frame CAD file for reference and design tasks
Full colour step-by-step assembly manual
Wiring diagram and electrical system guide
Motor and battery installation guide
Direct support from Shane throughout the build
Frame assembly, wheel alignment, steering setup, and brake installation — the full mechanical build alongside the electrical work, giving students a complete picture of how an electric vehicle comes together.
Chassis Assembly
Controller wiring, throttle connection, brake cutoffs, and battery management — students build the complete electrical system from scratch, developing skills directly applicable to automotive and EV trades.
Wiring & Electronics
Choosing between 24V, 36V, and 48V isn't arbitrary — students understand the relationship between voltage, current, and power output, and see the real-world effect when the scooter moves.
Battery & Voltage Systems
Students install and configure a 350W brushless hub motor, learning how hub-drive systems work, how power is transferred directly to the wheel, and how motor selection affects performance and efficiency.

TEACHER NOTE
“Shane has always strived to find the best kits and parts at an affordable rate knowing that schools' resourcing is limited. The quality reflects modifications and improvements over the years — and my students have learnt loads along the way.” — Hamish Carr, Technology Teacher, Katikati College

CAREER PATHWAYS:
The EV Industry Is Growing. Your Students Can Be Ready
Electric vehicles aren't the future — they're the present. The E Scooter gives students hands-on experience with the exact systems that underpin modern EV engineering: brushless motors, battery management, controller wiring, and hub-drive configuration. That's a CV that speaks for itself.
